The document discusses how one's perspective can shape their perception of reality. It notes that what one perceives may differ from objective reality if their perspective is not questioned or explored. Changing one's perspective can change what they see and notice, as well as their perceptions and experience of reality. The document advocates exploring different perspectives in order to change perceptions of what is possible, reveal new ways of thinking, and lead to solutions that overcome challenges.

It can shape your

13. Exploring different perspectives can:
Change perceptions of what is possible
Reveal new or alternative ways of thinking
perceiving and therefore doing
Create effective awareness that directs and
focuses attention, secures commitment and
activates energy for action
Reveal new possibilities and opportunities
Lead to solutions that help overcome the
seemingly insurmountable

14. Mount Improbable rears up from the plain, its
towering vertical cliffs can never, it seems, be
reached nor overcome.
Yet, around the other side of the mountain,
there are gently inclined meadows, graded
steadily and easily towards the summit.
The height of the peaks does not matter, so
long as you do not try to scale them in a
single bound. Locate the mildly sloping path
and the ascent is only as formidable as the
next step.
Richard Dawkins
Climbing Mount Improbable (adapted extract)
